What does your pond look like ... Today?

[Troutredds]

It all looks awesome, Colleen and Fishy. I'm glad you didn't fall into the pond from too many Bloody Caesars, Colleen!

Fishies are doing well. I turned off the fountain to get a better shot of them.

I also have March Marigold, for the second year. the first year it was pretty slow but this year it came in nicely, hoping it grow more already.

Nice looking plants. Never tried an umbrella palm but bet it will look really nice once it gets growing. Clover is a cool looking plant. I've had the Pickeral Weed but mine always got tons of black aphids and grew so big they busted their pots.

I plant mine where aphids don't get to them. The aphids would have to swim then become fish food before they get to my plants. Water clovers are cool. Mine are sending out runners through the gravel. I have a feeling the clovers will double in size by next month. The umbrella palm I actually got exchanged with someone on another gardening forum.

Almost forgot my Louisiana Iris's.

Fishylove what are the tall grass like plants in your bog in the first picture. Really like the look. Great pics by the way.

 

[addy1]

That is a really neat grass, love the look of it.

I think half of FishyLoves plants are Rushes, I seen her cork screw rush and what appears to be Needle Spike Rushes too!

 

[Fishylove]

Yep Colleen, I do have a lot of different types of rush. Thank you everyone! I love how my plants are coming along! And thank you again to addy for all the plants you so generously shared they are doing great!
The really tall grass in the bog is bulrush I believe. I got them from this guy who owns the worm farm here lol!! They get very tall, about 8'. And are VERY easy to grow, as long as it is wet it will grow bare root, so they are purfect for bogs.

 

[Fishylove]

oh and after this summer I'm sure I will be needing to thin them so I'll let you guys know when I do that, early fall maybe

My pond looks WET! It is flooding out.....
